Title:  Applied Linear Algebra

Credit Hours:  4

Prerequisite:  Math 18 or Math 20F or Math 31AH, and Math 20C

Course Description:  See the listing of Math courses in the online course catalog.

Textbook:  Linear Algebra with Applications, tenth edition, by Steven J. Leon and Lisette de Pillis; published by Pearson Education, Inc.; 2020.

Subject Material:  We will cover parts of Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the text.  See the course   calendar page   and   homework page for a more detailed list.

Reading:  Reading the sections of the textbook corresponding to the assigned homework exercises is considered part of the homework assignment; you are responsible for material in the assigned reading whether or not it is discussed in the lecture.  It will be expected that you preview the assigned material in advance of each lecture.

Homework:  Homework will be assigned on the course   homework page. There will be two components to each homework assignment: graded and recommended, and both should be completed by the indicated due date.  Your homework grade will be based on the best five (5) of seven (7) graded homework assignments.

Gradescope: All standard homework assignments are to be submitted via Gradescope. To log in, use the Gradescope link in the menu bar at left of the main page of your Math 102 Canvas site. To submit your assignment, follow the link to the appropriate assignment and carry out the instructions. Detailed help for using Gradescope can be found at https://help.gradescope.com/.

• Before being uploaded, assignments should be in a single pdf file with appropriate pages assigned to each problem. See Gradescope's Submitting an Assignment page for more complete instructions.
• Please make sure your files are legible before submitting.  Unreadable solutions will not earn credit.

Midterm Exams:  There will be two (2) midterm exams given during the term on the dates indicated on the course calendar and they will be administered remotely via Gradescope.  The midterm exam component of your course grade will be based on the best one (1) of two (2) possible midterm exam scores.   There will be no makeup midterm exams.

• Each midterm exam will be available on Gradescope from 8:45am - 10:05am PST on the exam date, with a strictly enforced 60-minute time limit to complete and upload your solutions to Gradescope.
• The 60-minute time-limit allows 45 minutes to write your solution to the exam and an additional 15 minutes to take pictures and upload your solution to Gradescope.
• Solutions that are not uploaded to Gradescope within the 8:45am - 10:05am PST availability window and 60-minute time limit will not be accepted for any reason (including poor internet connectivity).   Please plan accordingly.    It is your responsibility to ensure that you are able to upload your solutions to Gradescope within the allotted time.
• You may consult your textbook, notes, and lecture videos & slides during each exam.
• You may not search the Internet or communicate with another person in any way during an exam.   Doing so would be an academic integrity violation.   Please protect your academic integrity:  It is of great value to you.

Quizzes:  There will be four (4) quizzes given during the term on the dates indicated on the course calendar.  The quiz component of your course grade will be based on the best three (3) of your four (4) possible quiz scores.   There will be no makeup quizzes.

• You may consult your textbook, notes, and lecture videos & slides during each quiz.
• You may not search the Internet or communicate with another person in any way during a quiz.   Doing so would be an academic integrity violation.   Please protect your academic integrity:  It is of great value to you.

• Each quiz will be administered via Canvas and will be available during a 10-hour window from 10:00am - 8:00pm PST on the quiz date, with a strictly enforced 30-minute time limit to complete your quiz on Canvas.

Final Examination:  The final examination will be held held in person at the date and time stated in the course calendar (and in the schedule of classes).

• It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not have a schedule conflict involving the final examination; you should not enroll in this class if you cannot sit for the final examination at its scheduled time.
• You may bring one 8.5 by 11 inch handwritten sheet of notes with you to the final examination; no other notes (or books) will be allowed.
• No calculators, phones, or devices of any kind will be allowed during the final examination.

Regrade Policy:  Your exams (and homework) will be graded using Gradescope.  You will be able to request a regrade via Gradescope for a specified window of time.  Be sure to look for the email message from Gradescope that announces the regrade request window and make your request within the specified window of time; no regrade requests will be accepted after the deadline.

Grading: Your course grade will be based on the following weighted average:

• 20% Homework (best 5 of 7),  20% Midterm Exam (best 1 of 2),   20% Quizzes (best 3 of 4),   40% Final Exam

• Your letter grade will be computed from your weighted average using the following standard scale:

  A+	A	A-	B+	B	B-	C+	C	C-	F
  97 - 100	93 - 96	90 - 92	87 - 89	83 - 86	80 - 82	74 - 79	66 - 73	60 - 65	0 - 59

• Note:  The above scale is guaranteed; however, your instructor reserves the right to adjust the above scale to be more generous.

Academic Integrity:  Academic integrity is highly valued at UCSD and academic dishonesty is considered a serious offense.  Students involved in an academic integrity violation will face an administrative sanction which may include suspension or, in very serious cases, expulsion from the university.  Your integrity has great value:  Cultivate and protect your academic integrity.
